Resumo: | In this study, we have surveyed the use of toxic agrochemical products in 40 rural properties in the municipality of Cachoeiras de Macacu, RJ. The survey showed that 22,5% of the farm workers have suffered chemical intoxication. The most common agrochemical products in the region are the insecticide, Decis25CE (highly toxic), and the herbicide, Gramoxone (extremely toxic). We also found that 85% of the farm workers do not use Individual Protection Equipment (IPE). Other preoccupying statistics were: 27,5% of the empty agrochemical containers are simply thrown into the rivers or into the bush; 60% of the farm workers have had no training whatsoever in manipulation of the agrochemical products; and, 85% of those interviewed said that they were able to buy the agrochemical products without an Agronomic Prescription. Slash and burn, application of chemical fertilizers and then plowing in is the agricultural process used throughout the region. It was overwhelmingly obvious that the farmers had no idea that their inadequate agricultural practice impacted seriously on the environment. It was also found that the rural workers of Cachoeiras de Macacu saw no harm in the extensive use of toxic agrochemical products and, in fact, knew of no other way to combat pest infestation. As to the perception of the risks involved in manipulating agrochemicals, we identified three major categories: 70% are aware of the danger, but continue regardless; 27% are unaware of the risks; are, 3%, being aware of risks, have stopped using toxic agrochemicals. Agrochemical products continue intoxicate our farm workers and contaminate our food and the environment. The competent authorities must take energetic steps to reverse this dramatic situation which is decimating those who are the most directly and intensely exposed... our rural workers. |

A análise dos resultados demonstrou que 22,5% dos agricultores reportaram já terem sido intoxicados por agrotóxico. Os agrotóxicos mais utilizados na região são o inseticida Decis25CE (altamente tóxico) e o herbicida Gramoxone (extremamente tóxico). Quanto à utilização de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPI), 85% dos agricultores não os utilizam. Identificamos que 27,5% dos entrevistados informaram jogar embalagens de agrotóxicos no rio ou no mato, que 60% desses agricultores nunca foram treinados para utilizarem os agrotóxicos e, também, 85% dos entrevistados disseram que não precisam de Receituário Agronômico para comprar os agrotóxicos. As queimadas, a adubação química e o arado são práticas agrícolas utilizadas em toda a região. Percebemos que, de um modo geral, o grupo de agricultores entrevistados não têm percepção de que as suas práticas agrícolas inadequadas causam impactos negativos no ambiente. Nossos dados indicam que a maior parte dos trabalhadores rurais de Cachoeiras de Macacu legitimam o uso de agrotóxicos e não conhecem outra forma de combater as pragas. Quanto à percepção do risco do uso de agrotóxicos, identificamos três categorias: 70% percebem mas continuam usando; 27% não percebem o risco; 3% percebem e não utilizam mais agrotóxicos. Constatou-se que os agrotóxicos continuam intoxicando as pessoas e contaminando os alimentos e o ambiente. São feitas recomendações no sentido de que as autoridades competentes tomem providências para reverter esse quadro dramático da saúde do trabalhador rural, o atingido mais direta e intensamente pelo problema.Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciência AmbientalMultidisciplinarConfalonieri, Ulisses Eugenio CavalcantiCPF:53388866622http://lattes.cnpq.br/0960107425984526Rozemberg, BraniCPF:53388877722http://lattes.cnpq.br/6371179342381553Silva, Vilma Aparecida daCPF:00178181122http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4787021P3Castro, Jane Silva Maia2021-03-10T20:44:29Z2009-06-042021-03-10T20:44:29Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttps://app.uff.br/riuff/handle/1/18403porCC-BY-SAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional da Universidade Federal Fluminense (RIUFF)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFF2021-03-10T20:44:29Zoai:app.uff.br:1/18403Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://app.uff.br/oai/requestriuff@id.uff.bropendoar:21202021-03-10T20:44:29Repositório Institucional da Universidade Federal Fluminense (RIUFF) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
